Translate documents into iPhone compatible files before transmission

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Click on a file in the file tapp that is not a 'web' file.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect iPhone Remote server to translate the file to a PDF or PNG if at all 
possible, I get either 
the raw text (binary files) or the contents (package files)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.9.11, Mac OS 10.4.10

Please provide any additional information below.
Quick Look in 10.5 may be what you want, but the Finder in 10.4 also has 
Preview which I 
believe converts files on the fly

What kind of files? Can you give an example?

A good example would be iWork documents. iWork documents are packages and are 
seen by iPhone Remote as 
folders, they should be documents. (Needs to recognize all packages as files)

I just realized the preview feature only works for QuickTime recognized 
documents and text files. So a future 
enhancement would be to use QuickView in 10.5 to translate the document into a 
PDF or PNG before sending it 
to the phone so the user can browse the document, though you can't open 
PhotoShop documents on the iPhone 
so their might be a quick way to translate files like that using the existing 
Preview framework in 10.4
